IN THE INTEREST OF E.D. AND R.M., CHILDREN
On Appeal from the 256th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DF-23-00939
Before Justices Partida-Kipness, Goldstein, and Miskel
MEMORANDUM OPINION
ROBBIE PARTIDA-KIPNESS JUSTICE
By letter dated August 26, 2024, we questioned our jurisdiction over this appeal because the notice of appeal appeared to be untimely. We directed appellant to file a letter brief addressing the jurisdictional issue no later than September 5, 2024. In our letter, we cautioned appellant that the appeal was subject to dismissal without further notice should he fail to file the requested letter brief. To date, appellant has not filed the requested letter brief.
Under the record before us, we conclude appellant's notice of appeal was not timely filed. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b), (c); see also Brashear v. Victoria Gardens of McKinney, L.L.C., 302 S.W.3d 542, 545 (Tex. App.-Dallas 2009, no pet.) (op. on reh'g) (timely filing of notice of appeal jurisdictional).
JUDGMENT
In accordance with this Court's opinion of this date, the appeal is DISMISSED.
It is ORDERED that appellee TsehayAregay recover her costs of this appeal from appellant Dereje Duda.
